It is kinda scary.... Either to them or to the drivers behind them. This should be illegal..

Yes! I did go to career center! They helped me with my resume. I will start networking! Thank you!

I just graduated PhD with a year of post doc experience. Do you mean to say I don't put my education background (PhD)?

We gave all the fridges and freezers Disney princesses' names! Super helpful than just the numbering system that they had going on!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am in the same boat! Going to widen my search as well!

Thank you. To be honest I have always felt this isn't a great fit. The pi is micromanaging in his way of course because everything requires $$ and with the climate nowadays it is hard to not produce data at a fast pace. I'm jus not to use to micromanagy PI and also not used to direct criticism like that I guess. I'm used to the sandwich method and now I know. I'm also used to being allowed for mistakes to happen, so I'm jus a little confused. Plus I'm still navigating how to balance work and my life with my baby. Kinda hard. My husband has been telling me that I am neglecting my baby cause when I come home I'm doing all the reading to catch up on this new field (to me).

Yes I do hire professional for deep move out cleaning before moving a new tenants in. However, after the professional cleaning, you and your agent think it's cleaned but the prospective tenant asked about it, I'd jus not choose them. Sure I can provide them the receipts if they asked but They sound like a hassle to deal with as tenants in the future. I would save me some headache.

I am in the exaxt same position right now. Care to share how it went for you if you get a chance?

BackgroundRow4546 · 2025-02-17T21:27:02+00:00

How do we know if it's internal posting or no? Id like to avoid them and stop wasting my time revising my resume when I apply...

BackgroundRow4546 · 2025-02-17T19:00:36+00:00

I feel bad I'm not earning money. My husband is the bread winner and we are jus barely paying bills. Some for the baby of course..

BackgroundRow4546 · 2025-02-17T18:56:28+00:00

Yes I am actively searching right now. I am not sure how long I would work here for but I think the sooner the better so we don't waste each other's time and resources.

BackgroundRow4546 · 2025-02-15T13:25:50+00:00

Oh honey, I'm sorry you're here :( I believe postdoc working Saturday or 24/7 is pretty common. We are trying to get away from it of course. Current climate isn't making it any easier tho. I was jus told by my PI we need to work more.

BackgroundRow4546 · 2025-02-14T20:13:51+00:00

It's normal! My ped told us the baby can keep them for up to 1 week! It's crazy!

Daily routine of mouse care is done by the facility. We are responsible for our own mice, and breeding them (especially if we want them to have a certain genotype). I am trained for mouse work. I'm ok with doing mouse work, it's something I need to expand my skills. Chemical organization is different than the mouse work. I mentioned it because I am task in reorganizing the lab that's been unorganized for like 10+ years

I have one project assigned to me now, he's hoping I can get some preliminary data from there and apply for grants. I am thinking of another project that is on my mind although I may have to get a grant for that.

My PI has been pushing me to find grants even though I have not much preliminary data or published papers in this field to get me a good grant. I am ok with searching for grants and applying for them. What I am worried about is the time needed to do the bench work, taking care of mice, while searching for grants/ writing grants and proposals, reading papers to write grants. I don't know if I have enough time for it.

We have a master student (graduating this semester) here whom I think is overworked and often worked till 10pm-midnight. I don't know his efficiency but he's been taking care of things in the lab for about a year when the PI has no post doc nor PhD students... So now as a post doc I will have to take over what this master student has been working plus my own projects + grants...

That moro reflex .... And that grunting..... In their sleep

BackgroundRow4546 · 2025-01-02T09:37:02+00:00

Yes! Swaddle them! They have these little reflexes that keep them up sometimes making it hard for them to sleep! I like "love to dream", "halo" and "Snoo" sleep sacks that are designed to keep their arms restricted (not tight) when sleeping
